I need to make a small database for a project at school (not computer related at all, I'm indexing and categorizing paper documents of a research projet).
The thing is that in september, my semester is over and other students will have to taker over the project (and so on, for every semester!), so I'd need something that would be free and OS agnostic (or at least OsX/Windows) so it would easily be given to the next students on the project.
I was thinking about a WAMP running USB key that would have a MySQL / HTML interface, but it will become locked to the OS I choose first. LibreOffice and the likes will be an option in the end if I don't find anything truly portable.
Anyone has a solution in mind?
does it need to be multi-user? if not, sqlite may be of use. – Rich Homolka – 2014-05-27T15:02:57.763
SQLite DB files are "portable" across a wide range of environments. – Daniel R Hicks – 2014-05-27T15:19:49.637
@RichHomolka nope, no need for multiusers. – Jean-Philippe Murray – 2014-05-27T15:51:07.780
@DanielRHicks although the interface needs to be usable in every environments for people who doesn't know technicality. (I mean, they could always have to find an interface for it, or I could provide one that is defacto perfect and sustainable in time.) – Jean-Philippe Murray – 2014-05-27T15:52:33.560
